AKA When the Mist Clears (UK), it is described as “an erotic, drama, romance set in Italy.” This is the debut feature from actor, writer, director Cengiz Dervis. It is an experimental film in which the director wrote the scene outlines and the actors improvised the dialogue.
Isabella is a disconnected, damaged and angry young woman who’s life was shattered at 13 when her Italian mother died of cancer. Her successful British father harbors a painful secret, and chose to lose himself with work, outsourcing her care and upbringing to nannies, tutors and eventually therapists. Many years later, the father, the daughter and a stepmother get away from work, the city, and the internet to spend a month close to nature on a remote Italian country estate where they hope to bond.
